AI-suggested

If you cannot patch yet, restrict plugin usage to trusted users only or consider disabling the plugin if possible to prevent unauthorized access to admin pages.

Description

Clearfy Cache WordPress plugin versions before 2.4.3 have an improper access control vulnerability. This flaw allows any authenticated user, including low-privileged roles like Subscribers, to access admin-only settings pages and view their contents. The vulnerability arises because one admin-page dispatch path does not perform a capability check, although the canonical page URL does restrict access properly.
